HELL'S ANGEL

Today mum treated me to a cup of my fave Starbucks tipple, and I have to say that it was just what the Dr. ordered. I've definitely moved on from iced drinks though, I think their satisfaction peeked last weekend during our heat wave, and now, just a week later, I'm ready and raring for those cult-like Christmas cups.

Originally I donned this outfit, but after some internal deliberation decided I looked a little bit too biker-try-hard and opted for a cosy knit instead of the leather jacket. I think for a day in the wintery fresh air it would have been fine, topped off with a fluffy snood, but I felt much more comfortable [and less pressured to ride a motorcycle and tattoo my knuckles] in my plain-Jane cardigan for our quick visit to Merry Hill. Not entirely sure a double-leather look would have gone down so well... someone take me to London [because, in my head, you can wear anything there]!

The fringed shorts were part of last week's bargain shopping trip, and I picked them up for a fiver[!] in Primark's sale. Definitely loving their permanent reduced-rails at the moment, it makes up for their upped prices in my eyes for sure.

I also managed to pick up some ingredients for up-coming Fat Fridays, so prep yourselves for some sugar-comas!!

I love this outfit! Don't think it looks too try-hard-biker at allBut I knoe EXACTLY what you mean about "in my head you can where anything there" - I love fashion, like, a lot haha - but I've never been one of those people who is SO confident with their style that they wear what they like and don't care about what people think. That is until.....I moved to Manchester...okay so its not London, but its the next best thing. I literally don't care what people think about what I wear here - I like it and thats all that matters. Besides in a big city there are some really crazy dressing people, so I just look totally normal :)

It's taken me a while to readjust my fashion sense (well, the little I have)to living outside London. I was more than happy to wear my OTT fake fur leopard print coat daily in London, but till recently she barely got a wear. I have come to realise that although people do give me a bit of an odd look on the way to work, when I get there in any sort of fantastical garb my kids truly love it. Fashion for me is fun, it's an outlet, and I no longer care what strangers think. Come on, freak some suburbians out!

I love that outfit so much, the leopard and the leather compliment each other so well :) Here in London you really can wear anything and get away with it, one woman I see all the time ONLY wears red!I'm still trying to tear myself away from my strawberries and cream frappe! It's so hard, but I'm trying to prepare my self for egg nog :) yum yum x

I love this look, don't think it is too try hard at all. But sure it looked equally as good with a chunky knit!I am so excited for the red cups comming too, they encourage me to have roughly three a day though - prob too much! Oh well!xx
